Five Strategic Directions

Community Needs Driven Research Network (CNDRN)

AND

• To encourage research and knowledge translation to address the identified issues.

Networking Events

• Part of our ongoing consultation and network development.

Round 1 Discussion Questions

1. How does your organization/facility currently integrate into the broader community?

2. How could your organization/facility integrate further?

Round 2 Discussion Questions

1. The Paramedic Program can keep seniors from unnecessary hospital visits. What have you learned today that you/staff can do to keep residents out of hospital?

2. Not every visit from the Paramedics results in an individual staying in their home. How could your organization/facility work with the Paramedic Program to avoid issues (i.e. delirium) when hospital visits are necessary?

Round 3 Discussion Questions

1. Abuse can happen to anyone, and in many forms, regardless of where you live. What can be done to prevent abuse in your organization/facility?
